Homeowners in Australia are being encouraged by activists, celebrities, and a senator from the Australian Greens party to pay a weekly rent to native groups for living on the land, according to the Daily Mail.



An indigenous rights activist named Robbie Thorpe is spearheading the decades-old campaign called "Pay the Rent," which asks homeowners to pay 1% of their weekly wages to those who claim to have ancestral ownership of parts of Australia. The money is allegedly intended for an unspecified group of Aboriginal elders.



Based on the median income in Australia from 2022, each homeowner would pay a weekly fee of approximately $8.83, which equals $459 per year.



Thorpe said the payment plan is "a rational, reasonable, responsible means of reconciling 200 years of unchecked genocide, as far as I'm concerned."



According to the "Pay the Rent" website, a group called the "Sovereign Body" is responsible for ensuring payments are "centered around First Nations people."



The group currently consists of just three people: a doctor, a writer, and another native activist. However, the group does not yet have a plan for specific allocations of any money collected.



"The Sovereign Body is currently working through how to honour the legacy of the Elders and their role in the movement; and how money allocations can be fair and transparent to First Nation communities."



The activist website displays the phrase "Saying Sorry Isn't Enough - Pay The Rent" on its homepage, followed by a donation form. Below the donation form the website lists reasons to contribute, which include the idea of "stolen land," a declaration that there is "no treaty" between Aboriginal people and the country of Australia, and that "colonisation continues."



An Australian senator named Lidia Thorpe, who is the niece of the aforementioned activist, supports the agenda of the land tax.



"Pay the rent from grassroots for grassroots. No strings attached to government agenda," the Greens party member stated. "It assists sovereign grassroots fight the many campaigns and struggles we face everyday [sic]," she added.



The campaign also asks for a percentage of any events on the allegedly stolen land, such as weddings or music festivals, the latter of which would require paying 1% of the event's net income to the campaign.

There have been four waves of Woobla drinkers since the Dreamtime. Each successive wave wiped out the previous one.



That was before the British stole it fair and square and gave it to a bunch of oligarchs, who in turn convinced a bunch of surf-mat riding rubes to rent it from them. These oligarchs, in their infinite wisdom, decided not to exterminate the conquered monkeys, preferring instead to turn them into a permanent welfare class, paying them more than enough money to sit around all day drinking high octane petrochemical products, producing environmentally friendly dildoes fashioned from flies and empty beer bottles and fucking the local wildlife in the arse.

 

So when an activist group like The Sovereign Body says "Saying Sorry Isn't Enough - Pay The Rent", I am tempted to point out it has already been paid, many times over.



They should be thankful they weren't exterminated as their forebears exterminated the people they replaced.

The pinch of high inflation and interest rates has more Canadians, and women especially, saying their budgets are at a breaking point according to a new poll.



Ipsos Public Affairs polling conducted exclusively for Global News suggests a growing proportion of Canadians (22 per cent) are "completely out of money" to the degree that they would not be able to pay more for household necessities.



That figure is up three percentage points from similar polling conducted in October and rises to 28 per cent among women.



Ipsos's findings are based on a survey of more than 1,000 Canadians from Jan. 19-23.



An additional 32 per cent say the pressure to meet continued rising costs of staples such as food, clothing, transportation and shelter would force major changes to their spending plans.



Altogether, more than half of respondents (54 per cent) say they'd struggle to absorb further price increases in their budget, up five percentage points from October.

It almost makes you wonder why the muppets up at Wellington Street haven't stopped pissing money up against the wall in the name of World War 3, eh?

The consumers in this country have been among the most profligate spenders in the G20 for quite a while. Trudeau is pouring gasoline on the fire.

1968: "Nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate."



1970: "In the next 15 years the end will come, and by the end I mean an utter breakdown of the capacity of the planet to support humanity."



1980: "If I were a gambler, I would bet even money that England will not exist in the year 2000."



These are just some of the outrageous predictions Paul Ehrlich has spouted over his long career preaching doom. Despite all this baseless fear-mongering, the media continues to shower Ehrlich with attention and solemnly nod along with his discredited ideas about overpopulation.
